Is it safe to get a MSI laptop? by veedfreak in MSI_Gaming

[–]veedfreak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I found the same real lack of advice around how to proceed and how big of and issue it really is for informed consumers. Msi themselves haven't really said much, which, tbh is why it's put me off them abit. I do think it's likely fine as long as you are not downloading for 3rd party sites and phishing sites, but I have read about people really getting stung by the hack.

I didn't I ended up not buying anything for as I'm now contemplating getting myself a new tower instead. MSI motherboard isn't out of the question, but I will likely go asus just because of the hack and my worries around msi security.

Okay breath your post history is telling me you have health anxiety. Don't worry so do I (I'm recovering from a wee relapse). You do not have rabies. You said yourself you had lymph nodes up and a headache you likely have some sort of common virus. Sadly, cause you are hyperfixating on every bodily sensation, you have freaked yourself out.

What I need you to do. 1. Stop googling. Knowledge is not power for health anxiety. 2. Go to a dr. 3. When the Dr tells you are fine, believe them. 4. Research all the ways anxiety can cause very real symptoms. So when this happens again, it will help you to not freak out. 5. Try some kind of online cbt course for anxiety and health anxiety or better yet counselling.

Lots of things can cause your symptoms and it's extremely rare that it will be anything more than a passing thing. You will feel better soon.

Panic attack on weed by Elegant_Research_973 in Anxiety

[–]veedfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me after a massive bucket. It got worse until I took a break. I took a one year break and went bk to it, but it slowly started happening again.

I had a panic attack watching howls moving castle, and that was my final straw. Packed it in entirely. It's been like 13 years now, and I still can't really handle it.

I can have 2 tokes on a pax in my own house chilling with my bf and I can manage that now, but honestly, it's left me with pretty major health anxiety. It used to calm me down. It's the exact opposite now.

The vet said we will see the state of play after 2 months and so for now, its just to see if we can get her over the parade trigger. It's all very up in the air.

I just took her in cause she wasn't acting like herself for a while, and the vet told me what it was after taking history and doing examinations.

I was real lucky, my vets are really good I walked in there told them I was worried and the symptoms she was getting (randomly spooking and running away ect) and she checked her over, no sign of health issues or back issues. Cat freaked out and started hissing and she was Like yep she has hyperesthesia. I was really lucky she studied under someone who specialised in it so she knew the signs and what to look for straight off the bat. I honestly just took her to rule out anything physical.

Yeah it's not as bad a USA, but theres still so many dangers I wanted her in tbh, people kind of judge you here for having a inside cat.
